Information about Amherst college?
I know it is a very good school academically, but I am curious about the social life? Are kids at Amherst geeky or what?

You'll find some geeks and some snobs at Amherst (as you would anywhere), but most people are laid-back and nice; it's not a cutthroat school at all. The social life is like that of most small schools: you won't find raging keggers every night, but there's no shortage of stuff to do. I loved it there - it's hard to imagine a better place for undergrads!
